I'm a little embarrassed but the ending of this made me cry the other day:

I always liked the song Together In Electric Dreams but it did always make me a little misty-eyed and I never thought that it might be connected to the Steve Barron film. I was watching the ending on Saturday and the scene starts where Lenny Van Dohlen and Virginia Madsen's radio goes on the fritz, leading the computer Edgar to say "Hello, hello: This is dedicated to the ones I love" and then the song starts: I blubbed hysterically.

I should also add that there is a shot of a fire-boat seemingly exploding with water fountains and that also made me blub.

I've seen Shawshank Redemption around 10 times in my life. I've always really enjoyed it, but for some reason today I got misty eyed at the end for the first time.

This sub-plot was what I carried away from the film the most. The whole Brooks segment reminded me of what could happen if you live a life with nothing to show for it, and nobody to miss you when you're gone. What Red did at the end and in the above photo was beautiful, and a fair reminder that none of us are ever truly alone regardless of how we may feel sometimes.

I get misty eyed at the beginning of SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION. I think, "Oh poor me, now I'm going to have to watch SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION!"

"The basic plot is that Donna Speir and Hope Marie Carlton, the two undercover DEA agent Playboy Playmates from the last movie, are still running around in jungle shorts, cowboy boots and spaghetti strap T-shirts, firing their machine guns at drug smugglers, Filipino communist guerrillas, and corrupt federal agents while their two friends, Lisa London and Miss May 1984 Patty Duffek, lounge around the pool a lot and talk on speaker phones that look like fax machines."-Joe Bob on SAVAGE BEACH

Again I say: you're the only person I know that doesn't like Shawshank.

There are others. We have a support group.

Actually, I don't hate it, but I think it's probably THE most overrated movie of all time, and I feel the need to mock it on principle.

You're one of a very few people I know who doesn't like Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING.
